I just got the last out of R-speed mounted on my car with 215/45/16 Azenis.

They look great.

I will get some pics when I can find my digital camera.

I will use these as track/autocross wheels and then use the 17 inch R90s on the street.

I just got the last set from the vendor I chose too. They are Rota Slipstream 16x7, 4x100, 45mm, 13.5lb., color =Gun-metallic w/polished lip and they are hub centric at 56.1 mm .
The "35 lbs per corner based on my home scale" must be the weight of your new wheel & tire combination? What size and weight did you have on before? How much weight did you lose per corner?

post some pics

they are good rims, been around a while for honda/acura applications

 

Answering a few questions at the same time:

1) The wheels that are on the car for daily driving are 17inch two piece R90s with Run Flats, I may end up selling these and getting a set of SSR comps, but I have not decided yet.

2) Here are the pics:

They do look great very clean. Thanks for the pictures.

 

very nice and clean car

 

>>very nice and clean car

Thank you, I try to take good care of the car

 

I figured we should display them

Did you use the stock wheel bolts and did the taper on the bolts appear to be the same as the Rota Slipstreams lug holes, 60 degree I think.

Yes

The stock wheel bolts work OK and they seem to be the same taper.

Thanks Alex,
I wished that the 17 inch SSR comps weren't so expensive.

Thanks for the reply, never assume anything is what I always say.
Did you happen to weigh you OEM S Lites and tires.

I never had S-lites, the car came with R90 17 inch wheels and they are HEAVY.
I will measure one when I get home, my guess is close to 50 lbs.

 

Just put my Rota Slipstreams 16x7 w/Yoko es100 tires on replaced OEM S lites w/all season Goodyear Eagle 205x45x17 tires.
On my scale OEM S lites and tires 45lb. ea.
Rota Slipstreams and tires 33lb. ea.
Saved 12lb per corner, total weight saved 48lb.

 

Thanks Bora and Alex,

Really looks great on Chilli Red

I just put these on my personal Mini since nobody wanted to buy them.
These sat on a wheel rack for over 2 month! without a single inquiry???

Their appearance changed drastically once I added rubber.
